Final report: Asia Pacific CSO Forum on Beijing plus 20

Preceding the Asia and Pacific Conference on Gender Equality and Women´s Empowerment: Beijing+20 Review, which took place on 17-20 November 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand, a formation of feminist and women´s rights networks, constituencies, and allies from the region gathered for the Asia and Pacific Civil Society Organizations Forum on Beijing +20 (CSO Forum). More than 450 women activists, feminists, and other CSO representatives from the region came together to call for accountability of governments and to influence the Beijing +20 review processes. The CSO Forum provided an opportunity for CSOs from the Asia and the Pacific region to consolidate their key demands and to strategize on how to best make the governments accountable for the implementation of the BPfA as well as putting forward new commitments on gender equality and women’s rights.
